Delicious & Innovative Full Catering Service

Chef Matt and Daisy are two kind souls who’ve created a uniquely wonderful catering service with the absolute best food imaginable! They were both amazing to work with throughout the wedding planning process and perfectly executed our family style meal. Chef Matt’s food is elevated, creative, and thoughtful while Daisy and her friendly staff’s service skills are polished and well prepared. Every aspect was exceptional, and all of our guests continue to talk about the delicious food and drinks at our wedding. The Epicurean Team also prepared and delivered our amazing brunch service the day after the wedding, which I highly recommend! Their prices are unparalleled and Chef Matt will work with you to create a fun and distinctive menu that showcases sustainable, local, and seasonal ingredients. I strongly recommend hiring them for all your event needs, and I’m dreaming of the next time I get to taste Chef Matt’s incredible food!

They took care of everything AND it was delicious

Chef Matt, Daisy, and their team made our backyard wedding a great experience for our families, and they made my life so much easier from the planning stages to the day of the event. They coordinated all our rentals and delivered them the day before. During the event, without being asked, they really took charge of the entire reception area including setting up our cake, decorating the buffet table, and setting up our drinks. We worked with them to customize our menu, and they were very accommodating and flexible with the several changes we made, and it turned out all super delicious and approved by our picky friends and family. They took care of cleanup too and even packed to-go boxes for our guests. For a DIY event like ours, I would absolutely trust this team to take care of the little details you wouldn't even think of and to make sure your event runs smoothly. Thank you Epicurean Escape team!
